Chapter 385
“Sheng Man has to come. If she doesn’t come, wouldn’t she have to pay liquidated damages? Now, she can’t afford to pay for them, but she has always been shameless, anyways.”
“And Song Lie—I’m afraid that Song Lie would regret his actions too. Didn’t he just call off the marriage proposal with Ye Zhi because he wanted to chase Sheng Man?”
“Hahaha, if I was Song Lie, I would go home and slap myself. It’s impossible for people to go out these days without using their brains.”
Song Lie was really regretful. He subconsciously paid attention to Ye Zhi’s every move, especially because he not only knew about Ye Zhi’s identity, but he had also accidentally discovered her relationship with Gu Ren.
After returning home, the more Song Lie thought about it, the more wrong it came off to him. How could the two of them pretend that well? He was stunned that he didn’t notice their relationship at all.
But Song Lie recalled Gu Ren’s attitude towards Ye Zhi, which was actually very special.
He had never seen Gu Ren being so gentle with any female star before.
The last time he and Gu Ren suggested partnering with Sheng Man, Song Lie had unexpectedly provided a way of convenience for Gu Ren and Ye Zhi.
The four guests stood in a row, but they were separated by a certain distance as half of the remaining guests did not arrive.
Host, “The program team launched a vote online and netizens have chosen the most matching partner for you. Next, your perfect partner will appear one after another.”
Ye Zhi had a vague hunch in her heart— since Gu Ren wasn’t standing here, the possibility of him becoming her partner was very high.
As soon as the host finished speaking, a black car came from not far away as it slowly approached the location of the guests before finally stopping in front of them.
“Let’s meet our first pair.”
The door opened and Sheng Man got out of the car, but she didn’t dare to meet Ye Zhi’s eyes at all. To be fair, she didn’t even dare to deviate to the direction where Ye Zhi was standing.
Because of the ‘evil intentions’ of the netizens, Sheng Man and Song Lie were made into a group.
Song Lie, who would usually be delighted to see Sheng Man, frowned instantly.He didn’t bother trying to hide his utter disgust for her either.
But rules were the rules, so Song Lie couldn’t change his teammates.
Sheng Man naturally saw Song Lie’s expression. She didn’t expect that she had just gone through a lecture from Ye Zhi and so soon after, she would be stuck with a guy like Song Lie, who had the nerve to be unsatisfied with the pairing decision.
After Sheng Man stood beside Song Lie, he turned his head away. It was hard to say whether the two partners who hated each other could complete the task.
Immediately afterwards, one car after another drove over, Xiong Ting and Dan Qian were in a group, whereas Yue Ling and Liu Cong were grouped together.
It was self-evident who Ye Zhi’s partner was going to be.
Ye Zhi slightly curled her lips and looked at the direction the car was coming from. When the car stopped, everyone’s eyes converged.
His long and slim legs touched the ground first. He looked up and the sunlight outlined Gu Ren’s thin lips. In the past, his cold and thin eyes would only be cold.
But the moment his eyes fell on Ye Zhi, it turned into a tinge of tenderness.
Gu Ren walked straight to Ye Zhi and stood beside her. This time, Gu Ren got his wish. With his insistence, today, Ye Zhi and him wore sportswear of the same colour.
Ye Zhi and Gu Ren stood on both sides and he didn’t know if Gu Ren did it on purpose, but when he stood, his arm just touched Ye Zhi’s shoulder.
Compared with the guests from other groups, Ye Zhi and Gu Ren were the group that stood closest to each other.
When Ye Zhi realised this, she understood Gu Ren’s intention. In front of many cameras, she couldn’t step back to avoid suspicion.
Ye Zhi could only stand on the spot and her shoulder would touch Gu Ren’s arm from time to time.
